Eureka!!!

Here's what it is.  Your comments somehow sparked my memory.  I had
forgotten that I'd used a little trick on my old system to shorten the
length of URLs returned by searches.  So my files are really in...

/taxa1/home/mbmiller/www/wwwroot/bgnews

...but I set up a symbolic link in...

/bgnews

...so that I could eliminate the '/taxa1/home/mbmiller/www/wwwroot' part
somewhere or other.

So, I forgot to recreate the symbolic links in / when I built my new
system.  I knew I had to have made some kind of silly little mistake.  It
was giving me this error message...

> Glimpse Archive Configuration File not found
>
> Cannot open configuration file /bgnews/archive.cfg

...but I just didn't realize until a minute ago that it meant /bgnews on
the file system, not /bgnews in the web server directories (webroot/bgnews).

Thank you all very much for coming to my aid.  Your comments helped a
great deal because it focused my attention on file permissions and on the
non-existence of a file the system was trying to find.

Best,

Mike
